The Strategy

Litigators, good ones, always have a goal and a strategy in place to reach that goal. They learn all they can about their opponents, their witnesses and the Judge who will decide the path the case travels leading to trial. Twists and turns are common in litigation as are unexpected evidence or even witnesses. This scene depicts how even the most planned strategy can be disturbed by an unexpected witness walking into the courtroom minutes before the Judge is set to take the bench. Never a dull moment in litigation!

“WELL, WELL, WELL. What do we have here?” Trever leaned over and whispered to Adam, who was sitting next to him in the courtroom pew, waiting for the judge to start the call.

“And the fun begins.” Adam nudged Billy, who was sitting to his right, and jerked his chin in the direction of the group that had entered the courtroom.

Billy smirked in disgust. “Oh, for Christ’s sake. Well, this is going to get awkward.”

“On the contrary, Billy,” Adam said. “This gives you the perfect opportunity to let her know how this is going to end if she doesn’t stay the hell away from our firm.”
